It has been 9 months today since Lacey's accident. She had her nose cast and ear pack removed yesterday by Dr. Downs, who by the way, is so very pleased with her progress. We are scheduled to return for surgery on April 11th and will only need to be gone from home for a week this next time, as the procedures will be minor compared to her last two operations.
Thank you all for your prayers. And most importantly to the medical professionals who have gotten her to where she is at and for the almighty one for his guidance to them.
We are heading to Gig Harbor tomorrow and home on Friday. Hope to see you soon.
God Bless,
Mike, Shelly and Lacey

Lacey update 2/14/08
Happy Valentines Day!
Lacey had her surgery yesterday. 1 hour to seperate her lips and do some contouring and 4.5 hours on her nose. If you didn't already know this, Lacey lost most of the cartilidge in her nose and if we were not to have the surgery done, she would have had a collapsed nose and it would appear flattened. So, Dr. Downs did his amazing work on her and took the cartilidge from her left ear and put it in her nose, where she had no cartilidge and then used a composit material to build a strut to hold everything together and it turned out great. We are so happy. Her lips are totally swollen, but we can already see what the great outcome will be and her nose too. Lacey has her nose cast and the packing in her ear removed on Tuesday. We are excited to see the outcome of the nose without the cast. We will be driving to Gig Harbor on Thursday and then Liz, Lacey and I will fly home on Friday. We will be going to Jared and Sam Cockrum's wedding reception on Saturday.
We will be coming back to Portland in two months for less invasive procedures. Face scar revisions, derm-a-brasion, another little bit of nose work and Dr. Downs hopes to connect Lacey's left brow together.
That's it for now. Take care.
